on the punk vein (searching through some different bands), dmusic recommends the ataris (mp3.com). what caught my eye, was this comment on one of their song descriptions: “What more can I say. Stay indie, stay DIY. There’s too many shitty bands on the radio and too many good bands that are not. Cheers to the good ones that made it to radio (Blink 182/ MxPx..etc.) and to the ones with no integrity… (sum41, etc.) Kids are smart enough to know the difference. so fuck you.”
one of my friends had just gone to a sum41 concert, so i decided to do a little
search, and found this great little piece of vitriol at punknews. sum41 is touring on mtv’s campus invasion.
personally, i think sum 41 is one of the shitiest bands to ever put out a cd on a major. i’m so sick of them, mest, and all the rest of the shit that gets put out to the public as a result of the blink 182 wave. while on the subject of over-used and abused genres of rock. i’m sick of the whole “emo” thing also. i love rock with heart, but come on…does everyone have to dye their hair black and wear those ever-so-stylish black plastic frame glasses. face it, the get up kids suck and your “emo” band probably does too. Here are a list of bands that you know if someone lists when you ask who their favorite band, then they obviously just got into “underground” music: the get up kids, weezer, mineral, jimmy eat world, reggie and the full effect, dashboard confessional, the ataris, etc… i just get sick of everyone sounding the same, whether it be jawbreaker clones or “i wanna be like weezer” it just gets so old so quick.
